  Annie K.: Yes, I know. It looked more useful than the home page. :)
Oct-08-15  abhishikt: I need take screen capture of the standings, for the first time ever I'm First!! I'm sure it's just matter of 1,2 days before SwitchingQ... take over the spot.
Oct-08-15  sydbarrett: What did you bet, 100 on Short? Short had no right winning, because Movsesian owns him historically.
Oct-09-15  sydbarrett: I didn't win 400ish on my very first bet like last time. I've got fears of going penniless in a week as a result.
Oct-09-15  sydbarrett: Hey Yu Yangyi is not playing in Millionaire Chess Tournament... can I get my 5 dollars back?
Oct-09-15  abhishikt: <sydbarrett: What did you bet, 100 on Short? Short had no right winning, because Movsesian owns him historically.>

Correct. I didn't do any research, just felt Short could win it and he did after 100 moves, I was watching it live.

Oct-09-15  sydbarrett: Short's win gave me the lump first day. : /
Hey bookie please refund Yu Yang Yi bets from the Millionaire winner bet. I'm pretty sure he pulled out before the tournament started and is not playing. I might need those $5 one day...

  Chessgames Bookie: <sydbarrett: <Hey bookie please refund Yu Yang Yi bets from the Millionaire winner bet.>>

Nope, because Yangyi is playing just fine.

Oct-09-15  sydbarrett: Someone on the board confused me by saying Yu wasn't in. My bad.

  WannaBe: <Bookie> Silly question, why do men have their rating points shown in bets, but not women's?

  Annie K.: Tact. :p
Oct-09-15  sydbarrett: Quahog this Stonehenge dude is savaging you. Are you gonna take that...
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: New first week strategy for me this leg. Bet my heart out tonight, and spent 75% of my cash. Last leg I waited till I accumulated cash and was a leader before I got more bold. This time I'm getting super-bold, even before any growth. See you in the A.M.
Oct-10-15  Alien Math: wish to donate 100 chess bucks to <sydbarret> i don't know the format for this but i have faith in their confidence
Oct-10-15  Alien Math: make that wish to donate a 100 chess bucks to <sydbarrett> sorry i bad at copy paste and missed a t
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: Thanks Alien. I find strange English creepy, but I'm sure you're a good lad. ;-)
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: It's the weekend and I'm spending all my dough. Only $22 left
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: Yifan Hou is a superb chess talent... maybe the Carlsen of female chess in terms of domination. But the payoff rate for Draw was too great for me not to dip in. I can't believe Houdini is giving her +2.26 after just 15 moves ::anguished face:: Why are female chessplayers so uneven!
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: I am a betting genius. Fred quit because of my superior powers.
Oct-10-15  MarkFinan: Fred's hiding, lol. I can't believe I only put 3 cb's on the D-B ticket, it was nearly 40/1 !
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: That ticket was sweet. As you can see from the standings, all that sugar made me fat and content.
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: Hey Bookie, maybe you should put a link to this message board on the main Bookie betting page. Its existence wasn't obvious to me when I first started playing; it took some searching for me to know of it. It might help promote the game.
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: A.M.= Alien Math? Now I know
Oct-10-15  sydbarrett: Only a few months and I am already one of the best bettors of all-time. Why I am betting so good??! Why, Fred, WH

There *is* a link to this forum on the Bookie betting page. It has always been there.

OK Syd... a little fun conversation here is no problem, but when 15 out of the 25 posts, on this last forum page alone, are yours, this should tell you that you are posting here <WAY> too much.

I don't care if you are in first place or last; this forum is not your blog. I should not have to wade through your deluge of chatter to find any actual issues legitimately addressed to the Chessgames Bookie. Please pipe down.

And while I'm at it, please take note that distorting usernames into derisive nicknames is against the rules of this site.

Annie
